Client bogs down system

[LOA--Paul]

First my system specs:

P4 3.0 GHZ Processor
NVidia 6600 GT Video Card
1GB RAM
DSL
Windows XP


I only encounter this problem with Graal, and for the nature of the game it should NOT be doing this.

Whenever (on Kingdoms only) I'm outside in an open area or in the mine, the game runs extremely slow and starts to bog down my system. I mean, I can still play it and such, but it skips a lot and it's just.. you can really tell it's running slowly. Occasionally I'll get a low frame rate pop up but that's rare.

Now I can play games like HL2 at high settings and keep a decent frame rate and such. Why is Graal doing this? And how can I fix it?

No spyware, viruses, etc on my system either, I regularly use AdAware and MS Antispyware
